Reading in Elders Class

Children are expected to read a minimum of 4 times a week and encouraged to read both independently and to an adult in order to check comprehension. Please record all reading in the purple reading diary. Children will be able to change their own reading books at their own discretion once completing a book. Please can children bring their reading book and diary to school each day.

Spellings

Spelling tests are weekly on a Friday. Weekly spellings and learning activities can be found on Spelling Shed. Logins and password details are located in the reading diary.  We would ideally like children to practise at least twice at home but welcome additional practise beyond this. 

Please can children ensure they practise the year 3/4 and 4/5 Common Exception Words in the Homework Section of the Elders Webpage. A guide to accessing Spelling Shed is also in this section to support home learning.

Times Tables

Times Tables will be tested on Fridays. This may be on paper format or on TTRockstars. Please ensure your child practises using their TTRockstars login 3 x a week. 

Tuesday afternoon - PE/Forest School/Curriculum Enrichment

Week 1 - Forest School
Week 2 - P.E.
Week 3 - Curriculum Enrichment
Week 4 - P.E

P.E

Children will be having their P.E. lesson on a Tuesday afternoon and will need to come to school in their P.E kit on this day. P.E kit is trainers, black shorts or joggers (depending on the weather) and a red shirt (no football shirts or hoodies). Children should bring a red/ black jumper if needed. Jewellery will need to be removed for health and safety reasons, so it is better if removed at home if possible. If not, it must be covered by medical tape by the child /  before coming to school.

Forest School

Children come to school in layers of comfortable clothing  (rules concerning jewellery as P.E) a coat and waterproof where possible, including footwear.

Curriculum Enrichment

Children attend in school uniform

Remember to be prepared for the weather at various times of year.  Remember hats and gloves in the cold weather and sun hats and sun-cream in the summer. Any which way, children should always have a COAT.

Water bottles need to be named, non-breakable, not leak, and be filled with water.
